Disturbing news out of Seattle

Here is a disturbing story from Seattle via foxnews.com.

Seattle-Area Pedophile Has 'How-to' Web Site for Men Seeking Little Girl Activities

SEATTLE -- A Web site created by a pedophile is a virtual "how-to" manual, complete with the best places in western Washington state to see little girls, and tips on how to avoid getting caught by the police.

The site, titled "Seattle-Tacoma-Everett Girl Love," has been around for a few years. The police know all about it, yet they say they can't shut it down because the site is legal.

"As disturbing and offensive as we find this, there's no evidence of a crime, or even suspicion of illegal activity," said Rebecca Hover of the Snohomish County Sheriff's Department.

The man who runs it, 45-year-old Jack McClellan, has never been convicted of a sex crime, which means he can attend any family-friendly events where children are present, and take all the pictures he wants for his Web site. He also lives close to a school bus stop.

McClellan says his purpose is to promote association, friendship and legal, consensual hugging and cuddling between men and pre-pubescent girls. He admitted to FOX News that his "age of attraction" is between 3 and 11 years old.

"I guess the main thing is I just think they're cute, a lot cuter than women. I admit there is kind of an erotic arousal there," McClellan said.

Here is how the parents feel about it and rightfully so,

Parents are understandably outraged. FOX News spoke to the mother of an 8-year-old girl whose picture appeared on the Web site. The picture was taken at a dance recital.

"You have one in your face and you can't do anything about it because there's not a law to protect them from that," Cialoa said. "It's scary, and the fact that we're going to wait around for him to violate before we do something."

Neighbors of McClellan's say there's a man who rides his bike around town at night and peeps into others' windows. They believe that may be McClellan.

"You'll notice that every single person in this neighborhood has very large attack dogs," said neighbor Melissa Henry.

2. Btw, is there any way we can learn what's on the site (as far as getting insight into where pedophiles like this go to see their "prey" so that parents can take precautions??) without actually having to visit the site? I'm curious to go to it only to learn how to protect people I care about, but feel creepy about even going to the site. Would love a follow-up addressing this.

4. Michelle, All I have been able to find out is this guy lives somewhere in Snohomish County. The Seattle Times had this article:

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003642679_pedophile30m0.html

Here is just one interesting bit from their article:

John hopes the attention will die down soon, mostly because he's concerned about the privacy of his family. He lives with his parents, he said.

He said his parents have told him that he'll have to move out if he doesn't stop the Web site.

5. "It happened like this Officer: I heard a noise outside my daughters window, when I went to investigate there was this guy outside the window. He had something in his hand, it was dark and I thought it was a weapon so I fired two rounds."

Storybook ending, but not very likely.

6. His parents told him he'd have to move out if he doesn't stop the website??? Sheeesh, you'd think they'd have kicked him a long time ago!
